Gentleman Reg
Artist Bio
Festival Stage, 8:00pm
AD's Notes:
Infectious, poppy, brilliant, and featuring Ptbo's own Kelly McMichaels (Emerging Artist 2007) on keys, Gentleman Reg is going to set the festival crowd on fire. I've pretty much been listening to Jet Black non-stop for months.
Bio:
Gentleman Reg has been performing in Canada since the turn of the millennium, garnering attention for his two acclaimed full-lengths, 2002's Make Me Pretty and 2004's Darby & Joan. With a voice from the heavens and an unforgettable look, Gentleman Reg is set to make his U.S. debut in early 2009 on Arts & Crafts with the release of Jet Black. Gentleman Reg has made fans of some of Canada's best talent, performing and touring with such acts as Tegan and Sara, Broken Social Scene, Stars and The Hidden Cameras. In the U.S., Gentleman Reg is best known for being featured in the 2006 John Cameron Mitchell movie, "Short Bus", in which he made a brief cameo and contributed to the films soundtrack. Little Buildings is an official introduction to the music from Gentleman Reg with a collection of some of his finest work from his previously released full-lengths, as well as one never before released track, entitled 'Something To Live For,' from the Darby & Joan recordings.
